Water Works Collanse.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 3.-The water works
recently constructed by Col. Zeb Ward
at Little Rock, Ark, were to have been
opened yesterday, but at 10 o'clock the
center wall dividing the two new reser-
vOirS, placed on a mountain $50 feet
above the city. gave way and allowed
lo.e00,0o0 gallons of water to run back
Gown the mountain side into the river.
The lower reservoir was full and the
water from the upper rushed into il and
caused it to overflow in a column at
least ten feet deep. Preparations had
been made for entertaining large num-
Der of guests on the grounds, and the
place selected was just below the reser-
vOir in the path taken by the column of
water. Luckily the break occurred be-
fore the people had assembled. The
damage is $4,000.

New YORK. Nov. 3.-The Old Do
minion steamer Wyanoke, which ar
rived here last evening. had on board
the survivorrbf the schooner E. 3.
Everman. which left Weehawken on
Saturday last bound for Richmond, Va.
The Wyanoke was about eight miles off
Cape Henry on Tuesday morning when
the lookout sighted the maStS of a
vessel. to which were clinging four or
five men. Capt. Jenny, of the Wyanoke,
Immediately bore down upon the wreck.
and. although there was very heavy
sea on, life boat was lowered and
manned by the second mate, bOatSwain
and two Seamen. This was O'Clock,
nearly two hours after the time that the
SchOoner's mast had first attracted the
attention of those on board the steamer.
Four hours the gallant life boats crew
battled manfully with the angry waves,
only to be tossed hOpeleSSly to and fro.
Many times they were i'll imminent
danger of being swamped, but it was
not until the bow of the boat was stove
in. and they realized that it was impOs-
Sible to reach the wreck, that those
brave men relinquiShed their efforts
and returned TO the WyanOke. They
were hauled on board
THOROUGHLY EXHAUSTED,
and in few minutes another boat was
manned and lowered. Again there was
a brave struggle with the wind and
waves. and at last the life boat was
brought near enough for the reScuerS to
throw a line to the men who were cling
ing for dear life to the rigging of the
sl.ken schooner The line was caught,
made fast, and one by one four survi-
vors of the E. B. Everman sprang from
their perilous perch and were hauled
through the waves into the boat. Still
another human figure was plainly
visible on the miZZen mast. Surely
though the anxious and excited sailors
and passengers who were watching the
scene from the deck of the WyanOke-
surely they will not leave that man.
They did not know that the figure was a
lifeless one. 1t was the body of man
who had succumbered to the exposure,
and who had died some hours pre-
viously. His body was firmly fixed III
the rigging. and the life savers were
compelled to leave it there. Then en-
sued another fierce struggle with the
sea, which. seemingly angry at being
cheated of its prey. increased its fury,
but the little band stuck to their work.
and the last man was hauled aboard the
steamer at $50 p. m. eight hours and a
half from the time the first boat was
lowered.

THE NEW BABY.

What strange little man can this be,
So weird and so wizened and wise?
What mystical things has he seen
With those wide-opened wondering eyes?
What treasures untold, from what lands,
Do his soft baby fingers enfold?
What word does he bring from afar.
This stranger so young, yet so old?
Does he bring us some message from spheres
Unheard of, from worlds we know not
Starry countries we dwell in, mayhap,
AS babies, and now have forgot?
Who can tell what he knows, what he thinks?
He says not word, but he looks,
In minute more wisdom, I'd swear,
Than is shut in the biggest of books.

English Love OF Sport.

Hares are also formed on purpose to
be good sport, and make jolly good
dish, pleasant addition to the cease
less round of mutton and beef, to which
the level of civilization reduces us.
Coursing is capital, the barriers first
rate Now every man who walks about
the fields is more or less at heart a
sportsman, and the farmer having got
the right of the gun ne is not likely to
become to some extent a game pre-
server. When they could not get it
they wanted to destroy it, now they
have got it they want to keep it. The
feeling coming up again-the land re-
asserting itself, Spain you see-down
with feudalism, but let us have the
game. Look down the long list of
hounds kept in England, not one of
which could get !. run were it not for
the goodwill of the farmers, and in
deed of the laborers. Hunting is
mimicry of the medieval chase, and
this is the nineteenth century of the
socialist, yet every man of the fields
loves to hear the horn and the burst of
the hounds. Never was shooting, for
instance, carried to such perfection,
perfect guns, made with scientific ac-
curacy, plans of campaign among the
pheasants set out with diagrams, as if
there was going to be battle of Blen-
helm in the woods. To be a success
full sportsman nowadays you must be
well-drilled veteran, never losing
presence of mind, keeping your nerve
under tire-fiashes to the left of you,
reports to the right of you, shot
whistling from the second line-a hero
amid the ceaseless rattle of musketry
and the ''dun hot breath of war" OF
old time the knight had to go through
long course of instructions.
He had to acquire the naanege of his
steed, the use of the lance and sword,
how to command a troop, and how to
besiege a castle. Till perfect in the
arts of war and complete IN the minu-
tie of falconry and all the terms of the
chase, he could not take his place in the
ranks of men. The English country
gentleman who now holds something
like the same position socially as the
knight is not sportsman until he can
use the breech-loader with terrible
effect at the pheasant shoot, till he can
WELD the salmon rod, or ride better
than any Persian. Never were people
people in the widest sense-fondeI
of horses and dogs and every kind OF
animal than at the present day. -

Rhythm in Commercial Affairs.

As prices fall and profits shrink,
producers working on insufficient cap
ital, or by imperfect methods, are soon
obliged, in order to meet impending
obligations, to force sales through a
further reduction of prices; and then
stronger competitors, in order to retain
their markets and customers, are COM
PEELED to follow their example; and
this in turn is followed by new conces-
sions alternately by both parties, until
gradually the industrial system be-
comes depressed and demoralized, and
the weaker succumb faiD, with a
greater or less destruction of capital
and waste of product. Affairs now
having reached their minimum of de-
preston, recovery slowly commences,
Consumption is never arrested, even
if production is, for the world must
continue to consume in order that life
and civilization may exist. The con-
tinued increase of population also i'll
creases the aggregate of consumptioni
and, finally, the industrial and COM
nercial world again suddenly realizes
that the condition of affairs has been
reversed, and that now the supply has
become unequal to the demand. Then
such producers as have "stocks on
hand" or the machinery of production
ready for immediate and effective
service. realize large profits; and the
realization of this fact Immediately
tempts others to rush into production,
in many cases with insufficient capital
(raised often through stock COM
panies), and without that practical
knowledge of the detail of their under
taking which is necessary to insure
success, and the old experience of in
fiation and reaction is again and again
repeated. Hence. the explanation of
the now much-talked-of 'periods" or
"cycles" of panic and speculation, of
trade activity and stagnation, Their
periodical occurrence has long been
recognized, and the economic princi-
pies involved in them have long been
understood. But century ago or
more, when such state of affairs oc-
CURED in any country, it was mainly
confined to such country, as was nota
bly, the case in John Laws mississippi
Scheme" or the English "South-Sea
Bubble" in the last century, or the
severe industrial and financial crises
which occurred in Great Britain in the
earlier years of the present century
and people of other countries, hearing
of it after considerable intervals, and
then vaguely through mercantile cor
respondence, were little troubled or
interested. During recent years, how
ever, they have become less local and
more universal, because the railroad,
the steamship, and the telegraph have
broken down the barriers between ma
tions, and, by spreading in a brief
time the same hopes and fears over the
whole civilized world, have made it
impossible any longer to contine the
speculative spirit to any one country

BECKER E. TT1EzITGEN ! G
Where Good Coffee Grows.

Probably the best coffee in the world
is raised about Japan, but it never
reaches the markets of the United
States, for the reason that it is bought
up seasons in advance by resident
English buyers for the English market.
The resident German buyers contract
for three or four years in advance for
the crops raised in the States of Vera
Cruz, Tobasco, Colima, Michoacan
and Guerrero. The little State of
Colima has probably exported more
rich coffee beans than all the other
Mexican States put together and at
the astounding price of 20 cents per
pound. A friend of mine went down
to try to secure some of this delicious
product even at the price mentioned,
but he found himself forestalled by the
English, French and German resident
buyers, who watch with hawk-like
glance that the letter and spirit of
their contracts with the Mexican plant
ers are carried out even to the extent
of single pound of the bean.
Jalapa is connected with Vera Cruz
by steel railroad sixty miles long.
and this country he describes as an
Eden. The coffee plantations are in
teresting and always slope toward the
east. When the plants are one year
old they are transplanted into squares
ten feet apart, with banana plants in
between, so as to proteo.. the coffee
shrubs from the tier"ec5 rays of the sun.
h;t AT tnls age they are about two feet
u, anu .ney are never permitted to
"e'aip growth of over six feet The
plant bears from the age of three years,
and, unless bli9hted, continues to
yield up to its fifteenth year, when it
is usually uprooted and supplanted by
a one-year-old sprig.
The leaf is olive-green in color, the
blossom white and the berry itself a
beans, which when ripe for picking
turn carmine. The average earnings
of the six-year-old coffee shrubs are
40 cents, and plant being twelve and
and fifteen years of age yields from 81
to S1.25 worth of beans yearly. Coffee
is picked much as cotton or hops, and
the poems earn about % cents per diem
during the season. Upon the coffee
plantations banana and castor-oil ber-
ries raised between the coffee to shell
ter it are sold at absurdly low prices.
Last year the value of coffee exported
from Vera Cruz was $1,900,00 Coli
ma, $240,000; Chipas, 800, Guer-
rero, $4,000; Michoacan, $l53, 900;
Morelos, $4,000; Tabasco, $69, 700;
and Oaxaca, $89, 900. No; we don't
know in New York what really good
coffee is. Coffee at 20 cents pound
on the plantation would cost pretty
penny here, even if we could get it

The Kid at the Theater.

A child that can only squall in q
theatre is preferable to another larger
child of a kind one sometimes sees.
It's generally female child. 3 female
child from its earliest days recognizes
the privileges of the sex and takes all
sorts of advantages. The mothers al
ways teach them that they are
little girls" and the little bows
must not hurt them, and some of them
in consequence become terrors early
in youth. We've seen the child that
wanders all around a theater and looks
up at you and everybody with bland,
childish curiosity, and her thumb in her
mouth. She has no seat generally.
She's under age, and her father and
mother bring her to the theater be-
tween them, and she gets off in the
middle of the play and wanders about.
She has knack of being partial to
sweethearts. She seems to know in.
stinctively when she strikes a pair OF
young lovers, and she sidles up and
swings herself on one foot and then on
the other, and the fellow looks con.
fused and the girl pats her on the head,
hoping that'll drive her away. But it
doesn't. She accepts the familiarity
and gets on the girls knee, and the
young pair look furtively at one
another as if to say:

somebody here who knows us and think
